Singapore biodiesel production on Jurong Island to reach 1 million tons by 2010, will triple by 2015

In Singapore, the government touted its support of biodiesel production on Jurong Island. Singapore biodiesel production will reach 1 million tons in 2010, and 3 million tons by 2015.

Jurong Island is the petrochemical hub for Singapore and Southeast Asia in general. Two plats are currently in place, a Cremer facility capable of 200,000 tons and a joint venture between Wilmar and Archer-Daniels-Midland that has a capacity of 150,000 tons. Singapore is considered ideal for palm oil biodiesel because of its proximity to the feedstock plantations in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailaad as well as its world-class fuel terminal facilities.
